Frequently asked questions

What are the limits of CSV to XLSX?

CSV has no reliable data-type schema. Leading zeros, date-like values, encoding and quoted separators need checking; intended types cannot always be inferred.

How should I check the CSV to XLSX result?

Compare row and column counts, non-English characters and an identifier such as 00123. Inspect quoted values containing separators before using the workbook.
